Hi Chellemc,
It is so good to read about someone whose experiences are similar to mine. Jez, my husband, was diagnosed with Myeloma on our second wedding anniversary, when our eldest was less than a year old. Now we have two and they are five and nine! I had a bad experience on Friday that has left me feeling down. Before Christmas I had a bad morning where I felt tearful and overwhelmed. i don't really know what the trigger was. Anyway, I spoke to my boss, who is a very kind and understanding lady. She suggested i contact a helpline which is free for employees and they offered me counselling. Now I have had counselling before, when jez was about to embark on his second transplant, and found it very helpful. however this time I didn't at all. I didn't think the counsellor I spoke to had any experience of what i was going through and the phone session ended with me feeling completely depressed and generally negative. So I think your suggestion of contacting a specific cancer charity for counselling sounds more appropriate!!
